Simple and Easy Chicken Stir Fry with Veggies
Make a quick, flavorful meal with this amazing stir fry dinner recipe! It’s super simple to make and fills you with so many benefits.
Stir fry is a seriously underrated dish. Really, how often do you get to say that you ate all of the benefits you need in one simple meal? I wouldn’t say that it’s a common feat, but this flavorful recipe packs in that punch.
Using mixed vegetables, this recipe lets you choose which veggies to enjoy in this stir fry. Carrots, peas, and ‘shrooms are all wonderful options. If you like cauliflower rice mixed in with regular rice, I say go for it!
Tip #1: To make this dish more flavorful, marinate your chicken pieces in soy sauce for 15 minutes before cooking. Then continue as directed.
Tip #2: If you cook for less than 4 people, cut the ingredient amount in half.
